These two framed pieces were returned
to Ely in January 2013 after being on display at The Vatican since 2010. They
were displayed in public areas within the diplomatic residence of Dr. Miguel
Humberto Diaz, U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, as part of the ART in Embassies
Program with the U.S. Department of State.
Prior to his time in Rome, Ambassador Diaz was a professor of theology
at the College of St. Benedict and Saint John's University in Collegeville,
Minnesota. He was familiar with Jim’s work, and when given the opportunity
through ART in Embassies, requested these two images. We are honored to have been part of the ART in Embassies Program.

This flowers photo is one of my favorite of your photos. So beautiful ...
ReplyDeleteI don't think you remember me, I met you and your wife Judy about 20 years ago. You came to Tokyo, Japan for your exhibition , I was working at a photo agency. You were so nice and great people and very kind to me even I was one of the staff of agency. I never forget about it. Also I never forget about your eyes. Those were so clear, thoughtful and beautiful . I could see you are a special person from your eyes.
I was 20's at that time, now I am a mother of 3 kids. Time is fast. I read articles of Hidehiro Otake by chance. I was thinking of you and I found this blog. I will visit here often.
All the best
